Dish Network Retailer Chat Recap - March 12, 2008

I wonder how scientific these dots are. Look at the one near/at Buffalo. It's not eactly where it should be, but pretty close. I still remain curious on how they will do this with no spotbeam that covers Buffalo.

Hey scott, i'm curious if you can leverage your contacts to get a city listing name rather than trying to decipher this map.

Now that is some answers!

I would venture that Dish will need to change their football advertising strategy this fall given they keep taking the football channels to higher packages.

Not much new today that wasn't in the Monday night customer chat.

Next up we have the SVP Cheif Marketing Officer Jessica Insalaco join us. She incurages dealers to apply to be able to accept the digital transition coupons and then moves on to talk about the Dish Racing Team and their recent wins.

You can check out dishracing.com for more information on the Dish Racing Team.

They show the new Never Miss a Race ad showing the Dish Wins.

They then show some new Frank Caliendo ads with Frank as Donald Trump.

The Sharp TV Promotion Continues...

The Frank Caliendo ads are working very well.

Three launches, and at least one other satellite location lighting up with an existing satellite.

No... just that Chiller HD is one of the channels offered by NBC Universal.

Great!
I'm in the Philadelphia DMA so I lose the Big 10 Network!
What's the reasoning behind that?
